This blog started as a catalog of my food obsession. Well, my food obsession hasn't shrunk but I sure have: 55 pounds off and still going strong! Now I'm trying to make the plunge into primal/paleo eating. Expect lots of photos of the food I make.

Primal road trip!

I haven't posted in forever! I've been up to no good, as usual. I'm adjusting to living primally but still stumbling a lot. Better Half and I are going on a road trip to Vegas (woooooooo), and I prepared by stockpiling quite an assortment of food for the drive:

Beverages: Electrolyte replacement powder, green teaMeat: Prosciutto, roast beef, leftover pork loin (not pictured)Note sad lack of vegetables! Primal fail!Fruits and nuts: Cherries, macadamia nuts, Brazil nutsAssorted snacks and other: Larabars, pasture butter, two yogurts (normally a month's ration of yogurt; we'll see how this goes for me), Tanka bites, and two absurd raw vegan desserts from Whole Foods that happened to be basically primal (a mint chocolate "tart" and coconut "macaroons" -- I picked both of these items up off the shelf to show them to Better Half and mock them, then read the ingredients and ended up buying them; screw you, Whole Foods)

Not pictured: I caved and bought a jar of all-natural peanut butter. It's a legume! It's full of aflatoxins! I am probably developing a peanut allergy! But I haven't had the stuff in months, and sometimes when I walk past it on the shelf, I just can't stand it any longer: I have to have some. I'm hoping that the "allergy" is a product of my overactive imagination, as I'm afraid of what life would be like if I really were allergic to peanuts.
